CLEANING MDM HOLDERS
When changing material bottles during printing, molten material may be present in the MDM holder after the bottle is removed. If a large
pool of material is present (latch is submerged and walls of MDM are reached), do not place a clean material bottle into holder. The
holder will require cleaning before inserting a new bottle.
WARNING: THE MDM HOLDER AND MOLTEN MATERIAL WILL BE HOT; AVOID TOUCHING THE SIDES OF THE
HOLDER DURING THE CLEANING PROCESS. WEAR PROTECTIVE HEAT RESISTANT GLOVES, PROTECTIVE
SLEEVES AND GOGGLES. DISPOSE OF THE MATERIAL ACCORDING TO ALL LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL
REGULATORY GUIDELINES.
1. Make certain the 3D printer system is not building and press the pause key.
2. Insert a lint free cloth to absorb the material in the MDM holder.
3. Using a long tool, such as tongs, remove the saturated cloth from the holder and place in a waste bag. Continue to clean the holder until all
material is removed.
4. After the holder is clean, ensure there is no debris or lint left inside of holder.
5.
Dispose of waste material and all clothes that were used according to your local codes.
CHANGING THE CARBON FILTER
The carbon fi lter will need to be replaced every 90 days to ensure the 3D printer system will perform at it’s optimal level.
The part number for the carbon fi lter is 318587-00.
WARNING: YOU MUST WEAR NITRILE GLOVES AND
PROTECTIVE SLEEVES WHEN PERFORMING THIS
PROCEDURE.
1. Make certain the 3D printer system is not building.
2. Switch the 3D printer system off as described in “3D Printer System
Shutdown and Power Off” on page 29.
3. Open the build chamber door.
4. Pull open the cover panel located below the chamber door.
